About Gouffre Berger


The Gouffre Berger is a French cave discovered on 24 May 1953 by Joseph Berger, Bouvet, Ruiz de Arcaute and Marc Jouffray. From 1953 to 1963, it was regarded as the deepest cave in the world at −1,122 metres, relinquishing this title to the previous contender, Pierre Saint Martin, in 1964, after further exploration.
